Lets face it, sometimes we don't have it as good as we'd want it, but, atleast you get to brag about it on a forum!

For me, it would be the Mumps, hurt like a bitch, and get this, I caught it from the vacination!

Toss-up between two weeks of Chicken Pox or one week of Gastro.

Type 1 diabetes...

its an illness that never ends...

EDIT::

Began in January of 2000. I had a severe fever, which many doctor's believe to be one of the culprits of juvenile diabetes. Gradually over the months, my body ceased to produce insulin and began burning fat tissue filling my blood stream with a biproduct acid in a situation called ketoacidosis. The HumaA1C level of my blood rose to over 14.5, which is similar to a PH level. Normal is ~5.5 to 6 btw.

Fat burned off because my body couldn't digest sugars. Severe stomach cramps, followed by over 30 lbs of weight loss. Constantly tired because my body had no energy, and I had to piss about once ever 45 minutes in LARGE quantities due to my body trying to flush the acids out of my system. Also due to that, I was constantly dehydrated and drank like a fish. Fell asleep in class. Grades slipped. Inevitably ended up in a 3 day hospital visit, borderline ICU.

Now, even stabalized, I have to take a shot about 5 to 6 times a day, and monitor myself, and watch food intake.

So.... ya... worst I've ever had.

Explosive diarrhea.

Why? Because you can't just laze around in a bed and feel remotely better.

Two years ago I got hit in the lower leg while ground fighting, and it started to hurt over a few days. It finally got so bad I coudn't walk, and luckily I took a friends advice and went to the hospital. I ended up having a fucking huge blood clot in my leg, that had gone into my lungs and almost killed me. I had to take blood thinning medicine for a year, but now im mostly back to normal. Twas a bitch though.

3 years ago I had something called gasgiouinginitus (spelling might be wrong). I was hurting in pain so bad I had to go to the hospital and miss 3 days of school. apparently it caused some gasses to be released inside the stomach. Not a fart lols but something in that nature. I was put on an I.V for 2 days. Luckily my dad is a doctor so he took me home and took care of me there. It was the worst thing I can remember besides a food poison episode a while back. I threw up for 4 hours straight and lost 12lbs.

I've been lucky, worst illness was a bad case of food poisoning. There were times when I don't know which end of me I should point at the toilet.

The worst illness I had? Uhm none, I haven't been struck by anything that a normal child didn't get. So no serious Illnesses.

I did once this year think I had a STD (Sexual Transmittable Disease) but the doctors soon helped me out of that nightmare. Turned out to be nothing. Doctors still don't know what is was, but it had been going on for 2 weeks, then suddenly disappeared.

Damn, that sucks. I have been lucky (knock on wood), and haven't had another one. I take an 81 mg aspirin every day, that's about it. My leg hurts sometimes though, mostly when I have been standing around for a long period of time. They don't know why you are getting them?

No big illnesses, the only medical problem I have is that sometimes my heart gets off beat. That's kind of scary sometimes. My heart will just start beating weird and it feels weird like I can feel the blood rushing through me like you can feel a rush of adrenaline. Makes me get light headed if it doesn't stop for a while but that's the worst it's ever done.

I cheated on my ex and got genital warts on herpes. Yuummm. Best part of it was that I gave that shit to my bitchy girlfriend.

Haha....okay, so yeah, I'm kidding.

does alcoholism count? jk

probably i would say when i had scabbies lol, you can get it from many places, i think i got it camping. i had it for a few weeks till i went to a doctor and used a body wash thing to get rid of it.

second would be an burst appendix, not really an illness, but man did i feel and hurt like all hell

third was a hernia i walked around with for a good year not knowing, till i nearly died.

i used to get strept throat when i was a kid alot, so that isnt fun either

Exactly! That's usually how I make it stop, it either just stops when I stand up or I have to breathe in and out really big.

I had my eyes swellen shut because I was allergic to something. We never found out what is was. I just remember waking up one morning, on my stepmom's uncle's farm, and no really being able to see that well. Had to go to the hospital and get 'roids to take care of the swelling.

When I was either 17 or 18, I lost most of my fingernails. My fingers were swellen because of something, I never found out. This happened for close to a month. I was working at KFC, and I think that I may have came in contact with something, because I was a cook and had to deal with the blood from the chicken.

Other then those things, which did not really hurt, or make me really sick. I can not remember anything that stands out.

Guillain-Barré Syndrome http://www.gbsfi.com/overview.html
1 month in ICU, 1 month in Telemetry, 4 months in a rehabilitation hospital, 6 months outpatient ocupational/physical therapy. For the first 6 months I was legally a quadrapalegic, I still can't walk more than about 1/2 mile or stand for about 2 hours before I collapse from exhastion. I've got about 75% muscle control, about 65% finger dexterity of a normal person and when I walk it looks like I'm drunk.

I have seen and lived through my own personal version of hell.
